[Firebird-devel] isql, LF and backward compatibility

[Dimitry S. <sd...@to...>]

  Hello, All!

  After all "fixing" of LF- and readline-related issues in HEAD isql 
we have a problem with backward compatibility. Now we have no way to 
_write_ CR-LF pair into external table except "shortint trick".

  This script shows the problem:
----------------------------------------------------------------
create database "test.fdb";
create table aaa external file 'aaa.txt' (a char(5), b char(2));
commit;
insert into aaa values ('test','
');
insert into aaa values ('test2','ab');
commit;
set term #;
create procedure ttt as
begin
insert into aaa values ('test3','
');
end#         
commit#
show procedure ttt#
execute procedure ttt#
exit#
----------------------------------------------------------------

  May be we just should declare and document that isql now work with 
*nix-style "new line" character only?
